RUIN; “FIRE” Genre: Hip Hop (Hip-Hop) Hometown: Richmond, Virginia IN THE BEGINNING FROM RUIN’S ESOPHAGUS TO YOUR EARS: Somebody messed up when they let me in the rap game I have been crushing MC's since I was 13 years old. I came up with the name RUIN due of my competitive skills and notorious victories. All through high school I never battled girls because they were always afraid of me, the guys lined right up and I knocked them down one by one. It got so bad I would walk through the hallways at school and dudes just use to be like “we battling at lunch today". I was the queen of rap and always will be. I've accomplished more and seen more money without a major labels hand out first, and then some major label “signed” artists. There is no containing or shelving me. I'm outgoing and straight forward and it doesn’t get any better than that. When it comes to these entertainers if you’re hot you’re hot. If your whack your whack. I have no problem telling you that I got the streets of Richmond, VA in pandemonium right now over a song I put on a mix tape dissing five artists I dislike. My album entitled "FIRE" hit the store August 19, 2003!!! Eighteen tracks of pure fire. Store listings include BK Music, Carrington Music, Plan 9, and Tower Records. My listening party at the Goal Post was off the hook!!! I was recently won “Video of the Year” at the 2004 Urban Independent Music Award for “I’m Tight Rightt”, my current single. I have to say that I went up against some tuff competition, but I still won the BEST RAP ARTIST OF THE YEAR in 2003 at the UIMA!!!!!!!! You better keep your eyes on me because there is no stopping me now.
